So yesterday morning I spilled eggplant-and-zucchini sauce on my computer monitor, and today I woke up to discover that comics 235 through 620 were missing.

Recalling what happened the last time I spilled sauce on my computer, I cleaned it out and the comics reappeared.

But I'm curious now. Why did this affect comics 1 through 350 last time, but 235 through 620 this time? Is it because it's a different type of sauce? Or is it because I spilled it on the monitor instead of on the keyboard? And what's special about comics 235 through 350, that they disappeared both times?

Well, at this point it should be obvious as to what my next steps are. I'm going to thoroughly investigate the phenomenon by pouring different sauces on different components and carefully cataloguing the results. Might as well get a peer-reviewed article out of it.

So, you know, don't panic if you're trawling through the archives and find a few broken images. They'll be restored the next day when I clean out the sauce.
